Thanks for your reply,

I want to find the ratio of effect of one vector from
a reference point to another vector from the same
reference point.

Each force then can be broken down into components:
- from the center to the point of action: "dot product"
- perpendicular to the line above, not necessarily in the plane
of the disk: "cross product"

Yes, they are vectors.How to find the ratio?Is there
any method to find the ratio. It will be of great help.
1.vector A at an angle theta1
2.vector b at an angle theta2
how to find the ratio of vector A to vector B.
I have a circular disk of metal.There are
two points in the disk which are not uniform and
have some manufacturing defect on the surface.
Due to non uniformity there will be two forces
acting on the disk when the disk rotates.I want
to measure the

Typically you will form the products I mention above, and create
a "free body diagram". The forces, once the products above have
been formed for each reference point, can be shown acting on the
reference point. The cross product terms are torques. Be very
careful with the signs. The dot product terms describe linear
acceleration.

If the disk is free to rotate, then the forces must provide
whatever angular acceleration is observed.

If the manufacturing defect only provides a place for friction to
be creating one or both forces, then you will also have a
component of one or both forces that is normal to the plane of
the disk, and this component will be *included* in the component
you get with the cross product. Then you will need torque
information about the bearing the disk can rotate on.

hi all,
how to find the division of one force by
another force
